It just hit me that, rhythmic and inversion variations notwithstanding, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine” is also pretty much the same melody.

I find all these similarities fascinating, and I would love to see how they pull together historically. I did find information on the political rewordings of “Hold On” but not on the relationships of the others.

What is the origin of “I release and I let go”? There are several versions of this song.

Is there any relationship between this song and songs with choruses of the same melody such as “Keep your hand
on the plow, Hold on”, and “United Nations makes a chain. Every link is Freedom’s name”?

I would like to purchase the music for Ricky Byars-Beckwith’s song: “I Release And I Let Go”. I have the lyrics but not the music. I want to teach the song to my choir at Faith Congregational church in Hartford, CT. Please help me get a copy of the score to the lyrics of the song.

Thanks!!

I have been struggling this summer, dealing with contractors, thinking I knew more than they do. It has been an emotional roller coaster. Today my brother Ken called and reminded me of your song “I release and I let go”. I have sung this many times but had been trying to do things on my own.
I am thankful Spirit guided Ken to me and reminded me to let go.
I thank you for listening to Spirit and inspiring you and you sharing your beautiful lyrics. Sincerely Judith Kron
